So, hard pass for me.

I would pass on this deal.

This doesn't pass the sniff test.

The bill passed in the House and Senate without opposition.

Meeting that 2 in 5 of the last requirement allows a single owner to shield $250k of appreciation and a married couple to shield $500k.Unless you predict a lot of income from the MTR or you feel that there is a lot of appreciation incoming over the next three years (minus time get the property sold), you may want to consider collecting your $100k (passing GO) and redeploying that money to whatever you feel is its best use. 

I was told by contractors that a home may pass an inspection but once someone is living in it and putting daily stress on the house, things will start to malfunction.

Here's what I'm accounting for currently:Mortgage (P&I)InsuranceTaxesElectricWaterTrashInternetVRBO/Airbnb feesGeneral/RepairsCleaning (though these will be passed through)If i'm super conservative on my monthly rate, I will need to rent the unit 10 nights/month to break even, if I am more realistic with the rate (according to my realtor who runs two STRs), i'll need to rent it 7-8 nights/month to do so.

Entertaining thread.  

Ultimately, courses can be great for structure and guidance, but real learning often comes from doing and connecting with experienced investors actively succeeding in your niche.For many, podcasts, books, and courses are just entertainment. 

The experience of the housing provider is going to be the real challenge to getting you a set of keys to move in with...they have to qualify, pass inspection, sign a bunch of paperwork, and finally lease up and send everything into LMH.
